9. Of course it isn't important
But how many times have I/we/you/everyone here made fun of Bush's "fool me once..." stumble speech? Streisand's mangled tirade is just as much of an embarrassment as Chimpy's flubs.

14. Last I checked
Ms. Streisand was an entertainer whose movies we could chose to see or music we could chose to listen to. It should be so easy to exclude Dubya from our lives.

27. Thank you...I mean who the hell reads what Streisand writes

2. I never click on Drudge
his website should be prohibited here, just like the Freeptards do on their scummy site.

Isn't there some common denominator with men who love to talk
about Barbara Streisand?

5. Probably so.
I have always been attracted to women with flaws. Stunningly beautiful birds of exquisite perfection were quite off-putting. I found Ms. Streisand very attractive. Probably some male psycho thing, in response to my own flaws. Gotta be a message in here, somewhere.

6. WE'RE GAY!
Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 12:04 PM by Kurovski
But we already knew that about Drudge. And I'm series111. We already know that Drudgey had a thing for David Brock.

I'm suspicious of all this misspelling stuff, it happened once before and since the piece was dictated and went through a number of channels (and was even in the hands of a Republican at one point)before being printed, I'll wait to see what happened this time.

While Barbra might or might not want to risk a nail by hitting "spellcheck", she still gets it all right on what a disaster the Bush administration is for America.

(By the way...the reality is that not all male fans of Babs are gay. Also a reality: spelling and grammar matter.)

3. How does Drudge feel about the diva?

4. Drudge is pissed that Hollywood made so many damn good,
thought provoking movies this year that spit in the face of the brainwashing that asshats like him have been spoonfeeding Americans for too damn long.

8. Typical misspellings, typos
No doubt the essay was not typed by Ms. Streisand herself. Many of the typos are consistent with someone who's in a hurry. A busy admin just didn't catch them, or forgot to run spell check. No big deal. No story here. Continue on.

George Bush is about to become dictator of this country. That's a story. That's what needs to be covered.

15. Amen, brother!
Drudge has brought more internet hits to Miss S.! More folks will get a chance to read her essay excerpted here:

"It is clear that today's Republican Congressional leaders are not prepared to hold this President accountable. Therefore, it’s critical that people elect members of the Democratic party to the House and Senate so that a new leadership can take control. Only if this occurs, can we even begin to imagine a time when there will be a myriad of investigations so desperately needed on so many issues…let alone the ultimate investigation which would involve the conduct of the President of the United States and the determination of whether his actions warranted impeachment proceedings."

She don't sound so "dummbe" to me.

16. This is ALL he's got? SPELLING errors?
Fuck! If I had Babs' $$$, I wouldn't even bother to TALK to people! I'd just point and grunt and wave $1000 bills around all day.

What a self-important, insignificant little pinprick.

17. Wow!!!! This is HUGH!!!!!!!!
The person who typed Streisand's statements made typos. I wonder whether she also spread around a story about John Kerry having an affair with an intern. Or whether she printed bilge about Sid Blumenthal. Or...

18. And this is important because ????? He doesn't give a shit that
Bush can't talk, so who cares if Barbara can't spell? She's not running the country. He is.

20. I'd understand (and feel envious of) not knowing who Drudge is, but
you really don't know who Barbra Streisand is?

21. I dont "know" why either of them are considered important.
Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 03:42 PM by Dr Fate
Has Drudge EVER broke a FACTUAL political story that means anything since Monica?

Has Babs had a hit song or movie since the 80s?

Of course I know exactly who both of them are.

23. Streisand gives lots of money to the Democratic Party, which is probably
why Drudge is so obsessed.

28. Meet The Fockers? Record-breaking concerts? ALL her albums go platinum?
Anyway, Streisand was speaking out against the Right-Wing onslaught back when most Dem politicians chose to sit on their hands.

She's taken a great deal of heat for it. I don't mind showing some support and expressing a little gratitude for her using the platform she has in a way that (I feel) is important.

Back when folks thought the best way to go was to shut-up, she stepped out front.

Would her voice be more important if she had a single hit in the top-ten? Should I pay attention to Dr. Fate's posts only when he receives an "Employee of the Month Award"? :-) Of course not, you are worth reading.

We all have our own little platforms from which to speak. If we kept reducing them down to the "most important", The president would end up being the only important voice in America.

Come to think of it, that's exactly what the goal is in the White House these days.

29. 29. Here's a paddle to accompany your verbal spanking of sillies.
:spank:

No hockey stick with which to administer a reprimand, but maybe we can find a hockey garter belt for you to don while we receive a proper what-for. ;-)

Mmmm, talk about your top ten hits.
